BY JOHN B. KELLER. OE JUDGE has been around the Washington Base Ball Club for years and as base ball is regarded strictly a young man’s game it may reason- ably be argued that the time is at hand for Joe to show signs of wear and tear. He’ll be 36 years old the twenty-fifth day of this month and he’s been in big-time base ball for 15 years. Time seems to mean nothing to Judge, though. He’s still rated one of the finest fielding first sackers in the busi- ness and the way he is banging the ball now he must be rated among the high-class hitters. Like his team mate, old Sam Rice, Judge is one of the marvels of the |. game. During the current home stand, Judge has been remarkably helpful to the Na- tionals. Not only has he performed in sparkling manner around the initial station, but he also has been the big punch of the club. He has hit hard and often and what's more important his hits generally have come at times when men on the runway were awaiting an aiding wallop. In the dozen games in the home stand, Judge has batted for .489. That's a handsome record. Twenty-two hits have leaped from his bat. In only two games has he failed to drive the ball to safety. And in but two of his 10 hitting games has he failed to get more than one safety. Just how valuable Joe's bat has been to the Nationals in the dozen engage- ments is seen in the statistics having to do with the scoring of runs and driv- ing them across. Judge has crossed the late eight times in the 12 games. His gining has been responsible for the counting of 13 tallies. Once Judge lifted a homer over the right-field wall, 80 not counting that twice he has been a factor in the registering of 20 runs in the dozen encounters. During this home stand the Nationals have amassed 73 runs. Judge's hitting has been a big help in the making of 27 per cent of the 73 runs. Has ad- wvancing age hurt Joe noticeably? Easily answered. No. . 'OW that his leg injury has healed, Harley Boss, young first sacker re- turned to the Washington club by Chattanooga, may come in handy as a pinch-batter. In recent stick drills Harley has revealed a lot of power at the plate. His drives have been solid ones. He looked good-at bat whenever he performed for the Na- tionals last year and now may be ready to step in when an emergency comes up. Boss is a nifty first sacker, too, but ‘with Judge going along so well it does not seem likely the Louisiana boy will have much of a chance to crash the Washington line-up except in pinches. TILL in third place, despite that 5-to-4 win over the Tigers yester- day that broke a three-game losing streak, the Nationals couldn’t climb be- cause the Athletics and Indians, dead- locked in first pl-c;inwetre'dh v%‘m:imsi It's good to keep right at the leaders’ heels, however. The Washington club is but half a game away from the top of the American League. ]'1‘ was a battle, that second game of the series with the Harris horde. The Nationals staked themselves to what seemed a fine lead in the opening in- ning, but in three innings the Tigers had matched the Washington total. The home side managed to shatter the tie in the fifth and added another to its count in the eighth. It was well that eighth inning run was hung up for the 17Migers still packed enough punch to cross the plate once in the ninth and went down battling furiously. #RED MARBERRY and Victor Sorrell AL were the starting pitchers. Both found the road rocky. Sorrell be- ygan as though he would be lifted before Fthe first inning ended, but after that stormy time he gave the Nationals plenty of trouble. Marberry was ham- mered fiercely for three innings after ighe first, then tightened for a while. #The Tigers began pecking at him again 4n the seventh, though, and when he yielded a hit to Dale Alexander, first up in the eighth, Johnson derricked the big Texan and rushed Garland Braxton to the slab. Braxton deftly quelled the Tiger rush in his first round, but they brushed him for a marker in the final session. ‘The Nationals were outhit, 11 safeties %o 10. Nine of the Tiger hits were off Marberry's pitching. [ DOUBLE by West and singles by Rice, Goslin, Myer and Judge ac- counted for' three Washington runs in the opening inning, but the Tigers with Alexander’s single and Fothergill's triple picked up a tally in the second, #nd in the third got enough from Funk’s single and doubles by Gehringer and McManus to knot the count. Goslin and Myer collaborated in the fifth to break the deadlock. Two were out when the Goose bounced a double off the right field wall and he crossed when Myer singled. A pass to Myer at the outset of the eighth inning paved the way to the last home marker. Cronin’s infleld erasure and Judge's single got Buddy around. Then the Tigers came back. Rensa, Tecruit catcher, opened their ninth by driving the ball to left field and it bounded high over Goslin’s head to roll to the base of the open stand for a triple. Harry Rice, he of the sore heel, grabbed Sorrell's bat and poked the ball to left. Goslin made a game effort to catch the sphere, but it got away grom him for a single and Rensa scored. Funk tried to advance Hayworth, running for Harry Rice, with a sacrifice, but only popped a foul to Ruel, Then Gehringer took a good cut at the ball mnd shot a wicked grounder directly to “Judge, whose throw forced out Hay- worth, The losing string was com- *pletely snapped when Sam Rice got ;x‘n’drr the ever dangerous McManus’ olst. EVENTEEN consecutive games with hits for Sam Rice. is one tough bird to stop, He got his lone one yesterday in the first inning. It was a single to center. '/ BANS GREYHOUND RACING.

In fact, ‘Tre old-timer | i the phrase “Ott, Lott and Scott” might be cited as the greatest exam- ple of an anti-climax since some smart Harvard man picked on that slogan of Old Eli, “For God, for Country and for Yale.” But before going on, let me remark that Mr. Lott is probably a better all-around athlete than Mr. Ott, for he is a star at base ball, basket ball and golf, as well as tennis, but, good as he is, he is not as fine & =By Murray scorr/ player, in my opinion, as Mr. Ott is a base ball player.

He is great now, in the opinion of many, but hasn't begun to reach his peak., How he can throw out base runners with that steel arm of his, d his judgment in playing hits carom off the difficult right-field at the Polo Grounds is uncanny. He's fast on the bases this year, too, and he smacks home runs with a Ruthian wallop. Ott, Lott and Scott! The shorter the name the more important the man.

Gemmett’s 16-year effort to have Judge Henry Horner yesterday. Gemmett, 71-year-old a fan for 60 years, presented several arguments which he thought were prima facie evidence that ball players are not quite right. His petition was heard by Judge Horner in chambers following adjournment of court and decision was withheld until Gemmett has a chance to talk it over with Kenesaw M. Landis, base ball commissioner. “One of the signs of insanity,” said Gemmett, “is in the method of scoring. A batter makes a one-base hit, after which he proceeds at high speed to first base, ignor! effort is useless to his team unless his mates are successful in their efforts to make additional hits in order that he may continue on around the bases and register a score. “There should be two pitchers, one right handed and one left handed, in the box at the same time, and the batter wouldn’t know which one was going to pitch. The purpose of the pitcher is to deceive the batsman, and base ball players are crazy to think one pitcher alone can fool batters. “The players are crazy to let an umpire make a final ruling There ought to be a judicial committee to act upon in a game. every disputed decision. “And it is crazy to call a game on account of rain. There ought to be a canopy over the field, suspended by balloons, so that play could go right on, no matter what the weather.” Judge Horner is the eighteenth judge in the United States to be visited by Gemmett with a petition to have ball players declared crazy. All Base Ball Davenport Iowan, who has been ing the fact apparently that his That’s crazy, fsn't it? Bjorkland’s Surp Bears Out Dazzy Vances Theory BY FRANCIS E. STAN. AZZY VANCE, National League strike-out king, once said that in a pinch he would rather pitch to a .350 batter than an ordinary .250 hitter. The Dazzler be- lieves that during the excitement the eyes of the .250 batter liven to a degree that makes him a greater threat than the heavier-hitting batsman, who has a tendency toward overconfidence. The logic of Vance’s theory was proved to a certain extent while the tail-end Union Printers were handing an artistic 12-to-1 lacing to the league- leading Government Printing Office nine in a Government League game. Chief Roudabush of the ’rygos was, pitching no-hit ball until the fifth in- ning, turning the G. P. O. sluggers back with monotonous regularity. Then, with one down, Lefty Bjorkland, who | had relieved “Cork Arm” Corkins of the | mound burden for the Printing Office boys, came to bat and provided the biggest surprise of the current season in_the league. ° Now it happens that Bjorkland made exactly one hit during the entire season | last year, and is about the weakest ' hitter to be found among sandlotters hereabouts. He would be much flat- tered to be called a .50 hitter, much less | a .250 one. And that is all the more reason why the stage was set for a demonstration of Dazzy's theory. Lefty, to the astonishment of some 1,000 fans and himself, belted the first ball pitched for a single to right. Bjorkland’s hit was one of the two allowed by Roudabush, who turned in the best pitching perforance of the league so_far. The only other bingle, that by Mosedale, was followed by a play which, to say the least, was un- usual. It was in the seventh inning when Mosedale, with one man on base, socked a drive down the first base line which Umpire Sheily could have called either fair or foul. Mosedale crossed first and started for second when he rise Base Hit take, started running back and forth between the bases. He was run down. ‘The Printers, in winning their first league victory of the season, looked like a different ball club than the one which lost to Navy Yard and Inter- state. Behind the airtight pitching of | Roudabush the Typos hit timely and hard. Jimmy Dewhurst and Mal | Simons, who had gone hitless until | yesterday, struck their stride and socked | a trio of hits apiece. Dewhurst smashed | a single, a double and a triple to take batting honors. z Government Printing Office received the worst of a bit of brotherly battling in_the game. When Bennie Schneider came to bat | in the seventh, Catcher Al Schneider of | G. P. O. yelled: “Here comes a straight | one, Bennie. Hit it and you'll fly out.” | Bennie hit it all right, but the plans of | brother Al didn’t work out. Bennie hit a fly, to be sure, but it was so placed that no one could reach it, so Bennie | landed on third and Roudabush, who was on the runway at the time, scored. | A pitching duel between two veterans | of the sandlots ended in a 1-to-1 tie | when Dick Hughes and Bob Magee went through eight innings aplece without allowing an earned run. Both runs were scored on the only two errors of the Hughes allowed seven hits and fanned five batters, while Magee al lowed but four hits and whiffed seve: looked at Sheily. Mosedale stopped and turned toward the plate, evidently thinking that the ump had called the ball foul. Dewhurst, Typo right fielder, recovered the ball and threw it to Simons at second base. At this point Umpire Sheily yelled “Fair ball” and Mosedale, realizing there was a mis- INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE. Baltimore, 11 Rochester, 9 wark, e Buffaio, 4. Montresl, 11; Jersey City, 3.

LOSE SEVENTHTILT OF YEAR BY 1 RUN Pilot Wagner Sends Pitcher| Ruffing to Yanks in an Even Trade for Durst. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., | Assoclated Press Sports Writer. E Boston Red Sox already have gone a long way toward taking the role of ~ “hard luck” team of the major leagues for the current season. The exact distance they have traveled is seven games out of the total of 18 they have played. The Red Sox, with some fine pitching and often with good playing behind it, have lost these seven encounters by the margin of one run each. Two went to Washington, two to Cleveland and one each to New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. And added to this grief there have been a few more games in which they have lost after seemingly having the victory sewed up when their op- ponents suddenly came to life and pounded out big rallies in the late innings. The Chicago White Sox combined the two varieties of trouble yesterday to nose out a 4-to-3 victory. Boston had a three-run lead, with Ed Morris doing a fine pitching job, then came the fifth inning and a Chicago rally that drove Morris from the mound and produced four tallies. Eddie Durham finished the game without giving an- other hit, but it was too late, for Ted Lyons kept the Red Sox from scoring again, In an effort to prevent such defeats, Manager Heinie Wagner engineered a player trade with the New York Yankees that sent Pitcher Charley Ruffing to New York in an even exchange for Outfielder Cedric Durst. Ruffing has not won a game in his three starts this season, although he has come very close to it on two occasions, losing a pair of Boston’s heart-breakers. Durst is_ex- pected to replace Earl Webb, whose fielding has been rather unsteady. ‘Yankees Imitate Sox. ‘The Yankees gave a good imitation of the Red Sox yesterday in losing a 7-to- 6 decision to Cleveland. They lost a three-run lead in the sixth inning and then just kept pace with the runs a pair of homers produced for the In- dians. Earl Averill, Cleveland center- flelder, pulled the day's best flelding stunt b;hflll'finx two double plays. ‘The fladelphia Athletics won their sixth successive game, defeating the St. Louis Browns, 4 to 1, behind the fine pitching of Rube Walberg, to hold their tie with Cleveland for the league lead- ership. It was Walberg’s fourth victory in as many games. The abrupt end of Brooklyn's seven- game winning streak was the feature of the National League’s afternoon. The Robins could not score against Fred Blake, while the Chicago Cubs did a little better against Dazzy Vance to win by a 3-to-1 score. All the runs came 2 Cubs Tied With Light Black and Blue Spots CHICAGO, May 7 (#).—Charley Grimm and Woody English of the Cubs are all even on black-and-blue spots. Before yesterday's game between the Cubs and Brooklyn, English and Grimm were counting bruises won on the field of battle, and English led Grimm by one. Not to be outdone, Grimm got in front of a bad bounding ball batted by Warner, Brooklyn third baseman, and was able to go to the club house at the end of the game with a nice new black and blue spot on his knee, making the count with Eng- lish even. in the first inning, with homers by Hack Wilson and Babe Herman providing the impetus. ‘The New York Giants went to an ex- treme of long distance hitting to take their second successive game from the Pittsburgh Pirates, 11 to 9. Four home runs in the first eight innings gave them a lead long enough to withstand Pittsburgh’s six-run rally in the eighth. A pitched battle of veterans at Cin- cinnati saw Harry Seibold of the Boston Braves get the decision over Pete Dono- hue by a 4-to-3 count. Philadelphia and St. Louis were kept idle by rain.
